Hi everyone, I just recently came across a use-case where I needed to read gzip files and handle byte order marks transparently. I know that gzip can be read with Hadoop input formats but that did not work for me since I wanted to reuse my existing custom Flink input formats.
It turned out that both requirements (and more) can be dealt with by allowing the input formats to decorate the input stream. Do you think it is worthwhile to include these changes in Flink? I could take care of it. Cheers, Sebastian
